Correspondence of THE DEMOCRAT
Thursday night at the Brooklyn mine
miner named David Carbenes met with
fatal and rather peculiar accident. As
is the custom throughout the camp, he
was working single handed. While on
his knees striking a cutting or down hole
mass OF ore fell from the roof, breaking
his neck and MASKING his head
down through the drill. When found
the drill was still in the hole and had to
be pulled out through the back of his
head. There was no other way to get it
out, as the bit end was smaller than the
ragged edges on the head OF the drill
He was a young'man, aged about % years,
and came from Pennsylvania His fu-
neral took place to-day from the Knights
OF Labor Hall, followed by all his fellow
miners OF the Brooklyn, and those OF
other mines who were on the off shift
The Brooklyn management did all it
could toward making the ceremony as
impressive as such ceremonies should be.
And they who have seen miners
funeral in the Rocky Mountains can
never forget it-weird, uncanny, man to
man-oid human nature Just as it is. 4
